| Abstract: |
Mosses are small yet significant plants that contribute to the environment in numerous ways. They prevent erosion by stabilizing soil and retaining moisture, creating habitats for various organisms, and supporting biodiversity. This study aims to explore the species richness of moss at the vicinity of Matin-aw Spring, Bangcud, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon, describe their morphological characteristics, habitat preferences and conservation status including the classification of their family, genera and species. The said study area is situated at latitude (8.051505) and longitude 124.922997 on the map of the Philippines which has an area of 500 sq. km. or approximately 1 hectare wide. The conduct of inventory and assessment of the moss species was done through an alpha taxonomy or transect walk in the site. It was done by collecting and recording the different types of moss flora found in the area. Results of the study revealed a [O1.1]total of thirteen (13) species of moss belonging to nine (9) families and eleven (11) genera were identified. Among the thirteen (13) species of moss, six (6) are locally assessed as abundant while the seven (7) others were classified as rare. Based on their habitat preferences, three (3) distinct habitats were identified growing on rock[O2.1], tree base and tree barks. It was revealed that most of the moss species collected in the area was found on the surface of rocks while two (2) species were found on the tree barks and only one (1) species was found on the tree base. It is recommended that Matin-aw Spring must be properly conserved and enforce policies and guidelines for the protection and conservation of these important species. |
